Backstage today at the Derek Lam, I saw model Chanel Iman wearing a snappy collegiate blazer, one of the trendiest pieces for fall. (Since she was getting styled by hair guru Orlando Pita I couldn’t ask where hers was from, but it looks very similar to a Victoria's Secret jacket!) To score her perky, back-to-school-inspired style you could go to the head of the class and get one from Ralph Lauren--who all but wrote the Preppy Handbook--or you can save your lunch money with one of these steals. read more

Goose down vest, $29.50 at landsend.com read more
